loro (Espanyol) vol dir «parrot» · loro (Italià) vol dir «they; their»
Coincidence. Italian loro is Latin ILLŌRUM 'of those'; Spanish loro comes from a Carib word for the bird.

La història
French and Italian say 'of them': leur and loro are the genitive plural of ILLE, so they barely agree with the noun, unlike every other possessive. Spanish just reuses su, from SUUM.
